Darkest Hour announce new album ‘Perpetual | Terminal’
DARKEST HOUR have announced a new album!
Titled Perpetual | Terminal, the upcoming album from the American melodic death metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s Godless Prophets & the Migrant Flora, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via MNRK Heavy.
Speaking about the upcoming album, guitarist Mike Schleibaum says, “the record’s theme centers around the duality of survival while embracing rebirth. We keep killing parts of ourselves to make new parts and survive. The story of the record is the story of the band. We’re still here, and we’re giving the world a body of work that’s representative of our music today. We’ve realized relationships, tours, good times, everything that seems to give life meaning, is terminal — and will inevitably end. Nevertheless, we’re 46-year-old dudes who love this music enough to put up with the trials and tribulations of being artists in a touring band.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; the title track Perpetual | Terminal. Speaking about the new song, the band says, “this is a whole DARKEST HOUR album in one song. It felt like the perfect album opener, eventually became the title track, and therefore is the perfect place to start as we present this new album to the world. Lyrically, it touches on all of the themes of the record – an album centered around the duality of survival and rebirth. Or, you could just say, some new music from old friends who just won’t ever give up.”
